Pulling engine today.
Haven't done this in a while so help me out if you can. Here's a list of tasks I've compiled, let me know if I missed anything:
Remove hood, drain radiator & remove hoses, remove alternator, no A/C, no PS, disconnect mech oil pressure line, disconnect starter & label wires, remove distributor, accelerator cable & carb, remove fuel pump but leave line attached---secure, remove driveshaft, remove shifter linkage, loosen motor & tranny mounts, remove exhaust system @ the manifold, ----remove engine & tranny.
Anything else?
Car is a 1970 Corvette, currently w/350 & M-20. Rebuilt 454 & M-22 going in it's place.

Ok, got a question already.
How should I handle the Z-bar? Do I disconnect at the block? Or at the other end where it attaches to the frame?

well I decided to do another mod to gain max travel of bars past the intended travel points just for that peace of mind. 1/8 inch is to close so now I'll have 1/2" or better. I cut a 3/16" wall...
